If only for today ... drop the story and reveal the Glory! ~ Rev. Michael B. Beckwith The stories we carry,  The things we say to ourselves.  The things we do to ourselves.  You know, if we were truly honest with our SELF -- if we saw someone treating another person the way we treat ourselves, or talk to another person the way we talk to ourselves, we would beat their ass! Okay, maybe that's just me. But seriously.  You know you would want to do something to make it stop. I've heard it said, on more than one occasion, that many of us take better care of our vehicles than we do ourselves.  Why is that?  Many of us take better care of others than we do ourselves.   Why is that? If you have flown you know the first rule of flying.  In case of emergency you are instructed to place the oxygen mask over your face FIRST.  Why is that? Could it be due to the stories we carry?  What story are you carrying that prevents you from bein...

 Thanks to Covid 19 I won't get to see Wonder Woman 1984 on my birthday.  But for every door that closes a window is opened.  And so it was.   That window came in the guise of an unexpected treat.  So without hesitation I gave myself an early birthday present and  reserved my free ticket to watch the inspiring documentary  Dreamers . #dreamermovie   Granted, I'm not the documentary watching type.  But I was intrigued; and too, one of my favorite real life Wonder Women, Lisa Nichols,  was in it.  So I stayed up past my bedtime and watched.  From the beginning all the way to the end my eyes were filled with tears.  The collection of stories of real life true blue super heroes touched my heart, my soul and my spirit all at once.   I was overwhelmed by such intense gratitude that all I could do was cry. It was truly beautiful. Your Mess Is Your Message Yea, that's what they said.  They said it and ...

Over the weekend I started to feel down.  Not sure why exactly.  Just started to feel drained.  Quite frankly, I blame it on the heat and humidity. Honestly,  I don't fair well during the summer months.  I'm one of those people who thrive best in the cold.  In fact, the lower the temp, the better I feel.  Summer, like all the other seasons,  is a necessity and a natural procession of Earth's rotation.  I get that.   I really do.  I'm just not a huge lover of summer.  Which is pretty ironic considering I was born in July!  But all in all I am truly grateful for the the wisdom of Mother Nature.  Just wish the bitch would dial it back on the humidity.  Sheeesh! Saturday, July 25th will mark my 60th anniversary of my current soul travels on planet Earth.   60 years!  Wow!  I never thought I would make it this far.  Truthfully, I remember when I didn't think I was going to make it to 30...

It's July 17, 2020 -- 8 days before my 60th birthday.  In celebration, I decided to spend the week sharing my gratitudes.  My goal is to list publicly what I am truly grateful for.  Many of which will be repeats (because I REALLY love my bed, my pillow and my blanket!!!).  No matter how many I repeat, the reason behind this exercise is two-fold.  One to get back into the practice of being consciously grateful and Two --to reignite my passion!     Genuine gratitude and passion appear to go hand in hand.  So, in order to cultivate genuine gratitude one must first consciously practice it .... daily !  While I do say thank you as I get up every morning, I feel the urge, that nudge...okay that push...to really set it on fire!  To really take it up a few notches.  I've been sitting on the sidelines far too long!  The call to get off my fat butt and get a move on has gotten louder!   For the last few years I was abl...

Well, kiddies it's 2019!  I don't know about all of you, but the last three years has been an endless loop of the SSDD. And quite frankly, I'm sick of it. So for the new year, I have set my conscious intentions to break free from that loop and be more productive.  It's not a resolution which we all know never work out.  No, this is much bigger.  Much more solid.  It is intent .  And intent is much more doable than any resolution.  Even the words have different energies.  Try it.  Resolution.  Intent.  Notice the difference in the energies? My inspiration to set these particular intentions comes from the TV show Lucifer .   Long story short, Lucifer and his brother, Amenadiel, came into the realization that their Father was not controlling them or their lives.   That in truth, they were the ones holding themselves back, creating a loop of the same shit different day scenario.   Interestingly enough, Lu...
